Frequently asked questions
Is this financial advice? +
No. ColdStorageScore offers educational information about common security practices for self‑custody. It is not financial, legal, or tax advice.
Do you ever ask for my seed phrase or private keys? +
Never. No responsible tool or person should ever request your seed phrase or private keys. If someone does, treat it as an attempted theft.
Do I need to connect a wallet? +
No. The test is questionnaire‑based only. You can even run it with your device fully offline if you prefer.

Each answer is assigned a risk score across categories like backups, redundancy, passphrases, and hardware security. These are combined into a normalized 0–100 score.
